Tunji Wusu –
Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, a former governor of Kano State, and Senator Ajibola Basiru, the ninth Senate’s spokesperson, were formally confirmed on Thursday to succeed Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the APC’s outgoing national chairman, and Iyiola Omisore, the party’s outgoing national secretary.
The choice was made on Thursday, a short time after President Bola Tinubu arrived at the Transcorp Hilton, the location of the NEC meeting.
At at 11.35 am, the President arrived at the hotel’s Congress Hall flanked by stern-looking security guards who were possibly members of the Department of State Services.
Following the announcement of their appointments, Ganduje and Basiru’s fans rejoiced to the point where it nearly temporarily interrupted the program.
